Have you tried multiple .QC files? Also, what's taking up the 100% disk? (it should be color coded, red-orange being more demanding programs)

You could try uninstalling Crowbar, then installing it again.

Have you updated to the latest version of Crowbar?

It worked perfectly before

Do you have any anti virus programs running in the background? Or any other programs like that, that would affect performance (cloud syncing, etc)?

System specs (RAM, GPU, CPU, etc)?

Also, do you have any background programs running while attempting to use Crowbar?

Of course. You could scale the door in Blender, but you'd still need a sequence. A typical sequence for a prop would look like:

$sequence "idle" {
"modelname_anims\idle.smd"
activity "ACT_VM_IDLE" 1
fadein 0.2
fadeout 0.2
fps 30
}

To get the anims data, follow step 1b of this guide:

Your .QC has no $sequence line.

Now, disclaimer here, I'm not 100% sure this is gonna work, given the difference between skeletons, but it's worth a shot. Apologies in advance if I end up wasting your time.

Once you've finished that, we're gonna move on to the .QC. Open up the HL2 model's .QC, and scroll 'till you see $collisionjoints. Copy and paste everything in the $collisionjoints, and in the $collisiontext, and paste it to the bottom of the SFM model's .QC.

You're probably gonna want to replace the ValveBiped.Bip01 bone names to correspond to the ones your SFM model has. So, where it says, oh say, ValveBiped.Bip01_L_Toe0, you'd replace it to your SFM model's toe bone name.

After you're done with that switcheroo, save the SFM model's .QC, make sure the newly made physics model is where the .QC is, drag the .QC in Crowbar, set the game to Garry's Mod, compile, and pray there's no errors. Good luck!

from what i understand is that i have to make the physics for the ragdoll,not just drag the folders,some of sfm models dont have The Phys File so, in blender i tried the box thing with a model that i was triying to import but it didnt work,maybe i missed something

Ah, I forgot about that part. This *should* work. I hope.

Ok, so you're gonna decompile the SFM addon. Then, in another window, you're gonna want to decompile a HL2 model.

Now, open up Blender, and import the SFM model. After that, import the physics model from the HL2 (ensure you change the "append to target" to "create a new armature", on the side when you import).

You should have the SFM model, and the physics model. Delete the skeleton of the physics model, and scale the physics to fit the SFM model (if needed).

On the right hand side bar, where you see the names of the models and skeletons, drag the physics model to the SFM model's skeleton, and click "object". After that, click on the physics model, and in the little menu below the models, click on the wrench icon. You should see a little window named "armature". Click the recangular box, below where it says "object", and add your SFM's model's skeleton.

Now bring your attention back up towards where you see the models names, and open up the SFM model's skeleton (if it isn't already open) , so you can see the mesh (the triangles). Left click the SFM's mesh, then Shift + left click the physics model. Then, click on the button on the left hand side that says "Object mode", and change it to "Weight paint".

This is where it might be a tad hard. Go to the left hand side panel, where it says "brush" on the top, and scroll all the way down, and click "transfer weights". Some stuff should've popped up under the panel you were just in. In that new stuff, scroll to the bottom, and right underneath "Ray Radius", click the drop menu, and sort "By Name".

Now, we're not done in the weight painting part yet. You see, this is where things might get harder, depending on how much experience you have in Blender. You're gonna need to weight paint the appropriate ball of mesh (from the physics model), to a bone. So, like, the ball of mesh near the head would be weighted to the head bone, the mesh near the upper arm to the upper arm bone, etc. Make sure it's completely red, when you paint it to a bone.

Since you've transferred weights, there might be some areas that are already painted, but they're probably bad, so redo those parts. If you're confused about weight painting, then there's I'm sure there's a guide out there that'll help. (I'd explain more, but this already pretty long.)

To make sure it's weighted right, play around with it in pose mode (click "pose", on the right side panel). Make sure the Physics model's mesh isn't stretching. After you feel the physics model is weight painted right, I want you to go back to that right side panel, and delete the SFM mesh, NOT THE SKELETON (right click the mesh, and click delete). Then, go back to "Object Mode", click on the main view port, and press Ctrl + a.

Now, go to the right hand, lower side panel, and click on the icon with the light, sphere, and glass of water (?). Then, find where it says "Source Engine Export", click "smd", find a place to export it (under export path), then export. Now you're done with Blender.

For a ragdoll, you should be able to just take the materials and models folders of the SFM model, put it in another folder, then put it in the addons folder of gmod.

If you want to make it a NPC/Playermodel, then you're probably going to need to re-rig it to a valve_biped skeleton. There should be plenty of tutorials out there for that.
